OUR CHURCHES,..
FART V.
In I858 the increasing congregation
ol colored persons made it necessary to
enlarge their accommodations, and side
galleries were built ; at the same time
more comfortable . seats on the lower
lloor were provided with a new pulpit
and the church plastered throughout,
lt would be proper, and affords me
thc highest pleasure to state that no
branch of the christian church looked
more jealously alter thc spiritual inter
ists ot the colored people than these
good old Baptists. They certainly came
up tully to the requirements of their
sacred obligation in this connection, and
thc good emanating from this source is
apparent to'day in their lives and iri the
lives of their descendants. I have been
impressed by this tact in selecting ten
ants for my plantation, and when one
applies tor a larm and the fact is de

gical peculiarities and his destiny--suf
fice it to say j that 1 believe that there
is a supreme power controlling and
directing mundane affairs, in wisdom,
justice and mercey, and that the presence
ot the negro in our midst was for a
higher purpose than mercenary con
sid?rations, and carried with it a grave
responsibility. The responsibility ol
lopping off,his savage instincts in con
sideration of involuntary servitude and
fitting him by Christian civilization to

he returned to his native country a
sealed book to missionary enterprise on
the part ot the white man, by reason of
its inhospitality of climate, and thus
carry to his brethren in that benighted
section the glad news of salvation. In
reviewing the course of the Baptists
Churches in this connection and with
the view of determining it the proposi
tions advanced by me were finding ex
presi?n? in the experience of the colored
people, it is with congratulation and
without disparagement to.'the other
branches of God's church, which, at a
firoper time I shall ventilate along this
ine, 1 state that they can be no longer
regarded as idle speculations, but wear
to day the encouraging appendage to
a verified problem "Quod est demon
strandum."
It is the intention ot the writer at a
convenient season to collate and publish
all the facts in this relation to clear our
churches from the unwarranted and
wicked imputation that the colored yeo
plef among us were without religious
instruction. There is no doubt but
that the abuse ot the trust by thc white
man antedated his emancipation by
many years, and lilied our country with
sorrow, but I am proud to say that none
ol this evil can bc lett at the door of our
churches, They discharged their duty
nobly, manfully and in such a spirit ot
Christ-like self abnegation as must in
spire in the hearts ot tho colored peo
ple a sentiment of beautiful and fervent
platitude lor all time 1 have no appre
(tension for the safety ot our country as
long as the fundamental laws ot crea
tio.n are kept inviolate, and the doors of
God's temples rust not on their hinges.

man who was thoroughly identified with
the people ot Marlboro for. perhaps halt
a century, Upon whose, accents his
fellow citizens1 delighted to hang and
always with cager and rapturous attcn

Col. Dudley emulating tho example of
his good old Baptist brethren, left us a
large retinue of honorable descendants
with high and noble aspirations, Wc
teel sato in the assertion that nothing
groveling or low or meanly selfish could
come near the head or the heart of a

such weighty relationship with the.

the dissolution ot the tie that bound the

one ned ol hostility to or ingratitude to

to one ot those fuhdamentcl ethnical
